on my desk on a wednesday

On my desk on a Wednesday is a real mess:I really do need to tidy it up before I start making anything else.

I had this idea in my head the other night when I was trying to go to sleep, so last night I made a couple of prototypes: I will make some more with a few modifications but I'm pretty happy with them otherwise - the wood in the background is not actually wood at all - it's textured card, honestly - it does look like real wood doesn't it.

It's been a while since I posted a pic of Stevie. I think she wanted to prove that she does actually use one of her (many) cat beds we have bought her: She is sitting here right next to me whilst I type away - comfy and warm on her fluffy radiator bed. She's improved remarkably really - we're so happy that she seems quite normal now - so normal in fact that she brought another (live) mouse into the house last night. The usual happened - I yelled, she dropped the mouse and the mouse ran off to find a hiding place. This one was much much quicker than the last one, and quick as a flash it hid underneath the fridge, and I had to wait 45 mins for Mr Monda to come home so we could liberate it!

Thanks to everyone who commented on the daylight bulb/lamp from my last post. I managed to find a few energy saving daylight bulbs on the internet so I think I'll probably try one out.
